28 YEW LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 YEW LANE sales from October 1998 and May 2003 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the October 1998 sale was for 61% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% below the HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, where it falls to 65% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% below the HPI.
